On Thursday afternoon, Ophelia's core was located about 715 miles (1,150 kilometers) southwest of the Azores, where it was virtually stationary.

The NHC says Ophelia is barely moving and is continuing to strengthening, now boasting top sustained winds of 100 miles per hour.

The storm, which is now a Category 2, was initially not thought to be a land threat, swirling far from the American and European coastlines in the middle of the Atlantic.

The forecast track indicated Ophelia is expected to strike Ireland and Great Britain as a weakened storm by late Monday.

The weather will remain unsettled ahead of the storm's coming, with temperatures reaching 20C at times.

Xiaomi Launches Mi Mix 2 For Rs 35999
The smartphone is backed by a 3,400mAh non-removable battery and supports Quick Charge 3.0 using the 9V/2A (18W) power adapter. I did not test the camera of the phone, but as per Xiaomi' stock photos shown at the launch event, the phones looked great.

The storm will have lost its tropical features by then, but that's an academic point, because the winds may still be as strong as a hurricane.
